I've been using the Neptune for two years now. I wouldn't leave home without it. Drag is smooth as silk. It's definately waterproof. People complain about the weight but I throw 4oz jigs with that thing for up to four/five hours some days with no problem ( and I'm not a big guy). Check out that line roller - it'll wrap braided line perfectly, everytime. You'll get used to that big handle also. If ya get into a large fish you'll be glad it's there.
I've recommended the Neptune to four other guys and they have no complaints, in fact they also love them.
Final tribute : The Neptune is the reel I've been looking for most of my life - been fishing for over forty years. I'll be picking up the smaller models the day they become available.
You'll even finally like the color - it'll grow on ya.
